Excerpt: ...in weight, and hence the superiority of such milk for infant feeding. While it is true that some children taking a very rich milk may, for a time, gain rapidly in weight, yet sooner or later, serious disturbances of digestion are nearly always produced. IV. The food is increased too rapidly, particularly after some disturbance of digestion.
